Thanks for the link. Hadn't seen that, my info came from Bloomberg.
So.. it's not a $35k Model 3 but a premium derivative thereof. Gotcha. That's kind of misleading if ya ask me, that's like claiming the new Challenger is under $28,000 and can do a 1/4 mile in 10.85 seconds... exclusively true, not mutually.
Hoping the Model 3 is a success one way or another - at $50k it'll have plenty of stiff competition from all the luxo-turbocharged teutonic and japanese brands.
